According to the article on Guardian yes, they are back! The
latest menswear shows in Paris and Milan confirm the return of the 1970s style
to the catwalk but will it work for 2015? Not that sure!

Urban gents and moto-inspired menswear won’t be happy with
this new trend-to-be. Neither the minimal lovers.

70’s have always been an idol for style but mostly in
womenswear. Let’s hope that moustaches won’t come back either!

The only thing I like about modernized 70’s look on menswear
is the oversized trend, which we only see for coats. Not flared… Only
oversized.

The Paris shows, which
finish this weekend, saw an uptake of the wider trouser. Raf Simons – a
designer influenced by street culture – and Valentino, a brand more at home in
European mansions, don’t usually have much in common, but both are behind the
flares trend. Simons’s came tight on the leg, pooling in volume over round
sneakers. Valentino’s were looser and worn with neat blouson jackets. St
Laurent’s show, a hot ticket in Paris on Sunday night , is likely to get behind
the trend. Its creative director, Hedi Slimane, is always partial to a rock ’n’
roll reference. (Quoted: Guardian)

If you ask me; wider trouser legs
are fine. Volume in shoes is ok. Rock-n-Roll look is good too. Hats are always
acceptable. But tight on the top part & flared on the bottom part trousers
or jeans for men are not. Silky blouse… Oh god please no!

It was Gucci’s show in
Milan on Monday that really hailed flares as the new shape. While its creative
director, Alessandro Michele, was yet to be officially installed as Frida
Giannini’s replacement, he oversaw the design team’s edgy collection of
androgynous 70s-influenced separates. The first model sent out on the catwalk
signalled a sea change. Long-haired and slim, he wore a red pussybow blouse,
sandals and high-waisted flares.

“It’s a shape that’s
been pushed by more progressive designers, and we’ve certainly seen it being
adopted by the style set in London,” said Damien Paul, head of menswear at
matchesfashion.com. “I’m curious to see whether other men will respond to it.”
He’s not the only one.

Less is more and best is the simplest. It's cliche but true. My favourite
effortless look for men is pair of jeans and a t-shirt. That's it. Of course
you must cool boots and a jacket ow even a beanie but let's go step by step. :)

It's simple, casual, and cool!

The eye of Kenzo is my number 1 and G-Star and Diesel is two of the best brands when it comes to street fashion and urban guys.

Here is my TOP 10 T-shirts
pick for you to mix and match with your favourite jeans to get the best urban
look.

Expected: John Varvatos. √

I was sure that John Varvatos would make a great runway show and they did. I love everything about it. The designs, the concept, the details… Perfect for urban and cool guys s always. The palette of colors gives the sense of autumn perfectly. Military khaki is the signature of the brand. The warm chocolate colour seems so romantic to me. On the other hand leather makes it a though guy look which always work for women. J

John Varvatos mas is a man with a great fashion sense in slim cut trousers and large and sometimes oversized coats.

Surprise: Fendi

I don’t know why but I have never seen Fendi as a cool guy’s
brand. The runway in Milan made me swallow my words though…

I was amazed by the fabrics, which turned out a playful one.
According to nowfashion.com – exact quote ‘Pinstripes were actually laser-cut
three dimensional additions. What looked like corduroy was actually leather or
sheepskin. While leather and suede melded into one on a bag, or the top of a
wool sweater would finish in fur.’

Patchworks on coats and bag as accessories created a cool
and well-designed look for men. Oversized coats appear on Fendi’s show too
which I like a lot. It was also like 50 shades of brown, which was suitable for
an autumn look as it was in John Varvatos show. Chunky scarves and more casual
looks stole my heart. Here is my favorite one... Oh, the coat!...

I have always been a big fan for Shawl Collars and always hated turtle neck jumpers. So today's style advice is inspired by Adam Gallagher's street look and his Nautica jumper.

It's one of the must useful garment. You can wear it at work, on weekends, for bars, restaurants, and for any casual occasions. Just wear a shirt inside, throw a blazer over the jumper and layer shawl collar over the blazer. Here is the key of art of layering! :)
